An ideal is an ideal after all, and Liu Wangxue still failed to keep pace with the sun.
When I got up, the yard was already filled with morning sun, Liu Nanshan was already making breakfast, and Gu Xuelan was practicing yoga by the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.
The air is so fresh! It was slightly cool and refreshing. As soon as I arrived in the yard, I felt that my lungs were being cleaned inside and out, and my brain also woke up.
Liu Wangxue held her toothbrush in her mouth and walked around while brushing. She also ran to the roof and looked into the distance, letting nature clean her eyes.
When they were going downstairs, they happened to see Xu Qingsong coming out, holding a small basket and preparing to climb the ladder to pick cherries. The two of them said hello.
After eating, the whole family went about their own business.
Liu Nanshan took farm tools to the vegetable field, and Gu Xuelan rode a small battery to the market to buy some seeds.
Xu Qingsong came again and presented a basket of cherries and said, "I have to go to the city first. Do you have all the barbecue utensils here? Do you need me to bring them?"
Liu Wangxue had already shopped online, and the express delivery had been delivered before she returned to her hometown.
After thinking for a while, he said: "We have everything, and there is nothing to bring. You can just come and eat when the time comes."
"All right."
After Xu Qingsong left, Liu Wangxue changed her clothes and went out on a small battery to visit the vegetable market and buy some ingredients.
She is not working hard, but the grains are still divided. In the past, when I was busy with work, I always ate takeout. I couldn't bear the food anymore, so I bought something and went home after work and learned how to make it.
From choosing vegetables to cooking, Liu Nanshan taught her step by step through videos.
Liu Wangxue was smart, perceptive, and studied seriously, so it didn't take long to make home-cooked meals. Later, when I was with Mu Jingsheng, I came up with the idea of getting married and having children, and I even enrolled in a class to learn children's meals.
She didn't cook much during the years of depression in her previous life. Gu Xuelan was so strict that she even locked up her chopsticks, fearing that she would do something to harm herself.
But cooking is like riding a bicycle. Once you learn it, you will never forget it. It is a kind of muscle memory.
The vegetable market in the town was quite big. Liu Wangxue walked around and bought meat, vegetables, barbecue ingredients, and finally some seafood.
The stall owner saw that she was struggling to carry it, so he gave her a foam box and helped her deliver it to the small battery outside.
When Liu Wangxue arrived home, Gu Xuelan also came back. Not only did she buy rapeseed, she also bought many cute flower pots, all in the shape of animals.
Liu Wangxue put the meat and seafood in the refrigerator and came out to take a look: "Mom, why did you buy so many flower pots?"
"I think we need a flower stand in the sunroom. I'll ask your dad to make one some other time, and I'll plant some succulents."
Liu Wangxue looked into the carton again: "What about the meat?"
"There's nothing I like at the fair."
Liu Wangxue helped move the flower pots to the sun room: "Let's go to the flower and bird market another day. I heard Xu Qingsong say that there is a big flower and bird market in the city, and it is also connected to a pet shop. I want to buy a flower and bird market. cat."
"Okay," Gu Xuelan said, "But I have already bought it online and bought a few kilograms of nutritional soil."
Liu Wangxue came out and held the door of the sunroom and said, "Return it. Buying it online may not be good."
Gu Xuelan washed her hands, wiped her face, and said, "Forget it, I bought everything. Whether it's good or not, I don't care how to take care of it."
After lunch, the family took a short nap and then started working on the ingredients for the barbecue together.
Cut the beef and mutton into small pieces, marinate with seasonings, and then skewer them.
Just cut the pork belly into thin slices and sprinkle with the ingredients when grilling.
The shrimps should also be skewered with signatures to prevent them from curling up during grilling. The shellfish have been placed in a basin of clean water in advance, and an appropriate amount of vinegar has been added to let them spit them out.
Vegetables are much simpler to handle.
Tao Huayu came here early, and brought two friends with him, and had already greeted Liu Wangxue in advance.
My friends are a young couple. The man is Yue Cheng and the woman is Lan Xiaoxi. They met through Tao Huayu when they were buying furniture.
Both of them are also fans of Liu Wangxue.
However, few people made it clear.
The three of them drove here, not only bringing fresh food, but also a lot of fruit drinks, and moved them noisily into the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, a car stopped at the door, and Li Yu got out.
Liu Wangxue also sent him a message. He originally said it would depend on the situation, but unexpectedly he also came.
Li Yu in real life is not as active as he is on the Internet. He seems a bit dull and will blush when he sees a beautiful woman.
Tao Huayu deliberately teased him, leading Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi to greet him warmly and pretending to hug him. Li Yu held the wine in his arms and lowered his head to hide.
It made everyone laugh good-naturedly.
Gu Xuelan negotiated a solution: "Okay, don't bully him. Everyone sit down and have some snacks first. The food will be ready in a moment."
Li Yu greeted them: "Ah, hello aunt, hello uncle, hello sister Xu Xu." Then he handed the wine to Gu Xuelan and said, "My dad asked me to bring this for my uncle to drink. He also wanted to come, but the engineering department Can’t leave.”
Gu Xuelan had a good impression of Li Yu. He was fair and fair, with some baby fat on his cheeks. He was not tall, shy, and so talented.
It really inspires maternal love.
She took it, and Liu Nanshan also came over. He knew at a glance that it was what she liked to drink, and said happily: "Oh, thank your dad for me. When he is free another day, I will drink with him alone."
Liu Nanshan also admired the father and son.
Liu Wangxue stuffed Li Yu with a bowl of cherries, and Li Yu shyly said thank you with a blushing face.
Tao Huayu also came over to eat, and Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi were also the kind of people who had fun, and they were so noisy that the bowl of cherries was divided up in just a few clicks.
Tao Huayu was still unfinished and asked Liu Wangxue: "Are you from Xu Qingsong's family?"
Liu Wangxue nodded.
"Very good." Then he took a basin from the kitchen, called Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi, climbed over the wall from the stairs, and went to pick cherries in Xu Qingsong's yard.
Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan were really dumbfounded and couldn't stop them.
Li Yu glanced at the three people with disdain and muttered: "Stealing is not a good behavior."
Liu Wangxue heard this and looked at his expression. She really wanted to rub his head, but she restrained herself.
Ingredients are being prepared here, and cherry picking is in full swing over there.
Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi held the ladder, and Tao Huayu held the basin. It was full in a short time. Then I came down, moved the place, changed the pot, and picked everything again.
But he was not satisfied yet. He stared at the small piece of red fruit on the top of the tree, his eyes shining.
He shouted towards Liu Wangxue's courtyard: "Xiaoyu, give me a basin! Xiaoyu——"
Li Yu carried the barbecue grill up the stairs and ignored Tao Huayu. After putting it away, he turned around and went downstairs, saying, "Brother Qingsong is back."
"Hehe," Tao Huayu was not nervous at all. He and Xu Qingsong had been playing in the mud together since they were young. They sat directly on the ladder, and the old god was waiting for the door to open.
Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi were also familiar with Xu Qingsong, so they simply sat on the small stools holding the basin and started eating.
Xu Qingsong opened the door: "Believe it or not, I will sue you for breaking into a private house?"
Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi waved: "Brother Qingsong is back."
Tao Huayu smiled and said: "Stop talking nonsense and quickly hand over a basin. I'll take off the top too, otherwise there won't be enough food."
Xu Qingsong threw the key to Yue Cheng, who caught it, opened the door and went to the kitchen to get a basin in one go.
